Title: Coupling device for a skid steer loader
Inventor: YOUNGER STEPHEN A
IPC: E02F3/36
Filed: 2000-01-13
Abstract: A coupling device is provided for interconnecting an attachment tool, such as a bucket (16 Fig. 1), to the loader arms 12a, 12b of a vehicle such as a skid steer loader or front-end loading tractor. The coupling device has support brackets 200, 202 adapted to support the attachment tool. The coupling device also includes handles 106, 108 which control coupling pins (144, 176 Fig. 3). The coupling pins are angled in opposite directions and diverge from each other. Pivoting the handles moves the coupling pins between an extended position (Figs. 4 and 5) and a retracted position (Figs. 3 and 6). In the extended position the coupling pins engage apertures (250 Fig. 5) in a mounting plate of the attachment tool in order to lock the attachment tool to the coupling device; in the retracted position they are withdrawn from the apertures in order to unlock the attachment tool. The coupling pins may have tapered ends, and shrouds 190 to protect them from debris.

Title: A loudspeaker with a ring shaped diaphragm and a phase plug
Inventor: GOLLER LARS
IPC: H04R7/12
Filed: 2000-02-17
Abstract: A tweeter having a ring shaped diaphragm portion (Fig. 1, 12) with a retracted central portion fixed to the tweeter chassis (11) was found to present an objectionable drop of response in the 18-20 KHz range. This problem is eliminated or minimised by placing in front of said central area a forwardly projecting, generally conical phase plug or waveguide 18 that will minimise interference between sound waves radiated forwardly and inwardly from the ring shaped dome. An alternative solution is to arrange, in front of a wider central portion, a shield member directly blocking external radiation from the critical central area, still without changing the shape of the diaphragm. Also, certain modifications are proposed which may well be used in connection with ordinary dome speakers i.e. the manner in which the diaphragm is secured to the voice coils and the materials from which the diaphragms are made.

Title: Installing software in a palm-type device having a PROM and a RAM wherein the available space in the RAM is insufficient for a downloaded distribution package
Inventor: EAGLE BRIAN L WHITE
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2000-12-11
Abstract: The invention relates to installing software on a computing device 41 having a RAM 40 containing the device operating system 45 and application programs 47-49 and a programmable ROM 43 also containing the application programs. The software is contained in a software distribution package requiring RAM capacity in excess of the available RAM in said device. First all application programs other than those required to support the device operating system in receiving said software distribution package are deleted from RAM 40. The software distribution package is then loaded into the same RAM 40 and the software from the software distribution package is loaded into the programmable ROM 43. Next the software distribution package is deleted from the RAM 40 and all deleted applications are downloaded from the programmable ROM 43 into the device RAM 40. The invention is stated to find particular application to palm-type devices (e.g. mobile phones, PDA's, video set-top boxes). The software distribution package is preferably downloaded from the internet by installation of a Mini-update application 44 into the available (i.e. empty) RAM which enables the rest of the method of the invention to be carried out.

Title: Mitochondrial DNA analysis
Inventor: SYKES BRYAN CLIFFORD
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2001-04-11
Abstract: A method of determining probable ancestry of a human individual to a dead human female ancestor is disclosed. A sample is taken from a human whose ancestry is to be determined, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) extracted therefrom and sequenced. A portion of this mtDNA sequence is then compared with other "comparison" mtDNA sequences in the same region to determine the differences (or mutations) between these two sequences. In particular, the sequence from a human is compared with a reference sequence and the positions of the mutations determined. Sequences having the same mutations are likely to be related, and thus an indication of probable ancestry can be determined. A database of sequences can be produced, where the sequences are related to each other by means of their mutations, and this can be used to generate a gene tree. An individuals' position in that gene tree, determined by the nature of the mutation, can then indicate ancestry, in particular to a female ancestor who lived many thousands of years ago. In particular, it has been found that virtually all human mtDNA sequences can be traced back to only a few (6-8) female ancestors. A computer program comprising program code for determining probable ancestry is also claimed.

Title: In a receiver for signals with ISI the trial sequence of symbols which minimises an error function is considered to represent the original sequence
Inventor: AL-CHALABI SALAH A
IPC: H04B10/2513
Filed: 2001-05-30
Abstract: The present application is concerned with a receiver for receiving signals from a transmission channel which introduces inter-symbol interference (ISI). The receiver tries a number of trial binary sequences  X<SB>n</SB>  and determines which of these sequences most accurately represents an originally transmitted sequence. This involves generating a value Y<SB>n</SB>, by passing the received signal through an integrator with integration time equal to the maximum time period over which one symbol can interfere with another, using a channel estimator to produce a sequence  a<SB>n</SB>  representing the channel response, multiplying each element of the response sequence,  a<SB>n</SB> , with an element of a trial sequence,  X<SB>n</SB> , and subtracting Y<SB>n</SB> from the result to produce an error function E<SB>n</SB>. The trial sequence which minimises E<SB>n</SB> is considered to provide the most accurate representation of the transmitted sequence. Block decoding and sequential decoding embodiments are disclosed. The invention is preferably used with optically transmitted signals suffering from chromatic and/or polarisation dispersion.
